VS Code uses Chromium v58, while Chrome is now at v62 I believe. So, from the input handling point of view, the Monaco Editor running on Chrome is almost equivalent to VS Code, except perhaps differences in the underlying Chromium version.
So finally, some incarnation of Chromium v58 is available at Monaco Editor uses 100% the same source code as the VS Code editor UI part, especially around input handling. Since 454471 doesn't appear to exist there, I suppose 454473 will be close enough I might be wrong, but this is usually what I do in these circumstances. will list all build snapshots for Chromium. Using we can find Branch Base Position for: 454471. Downloading an older version of Chromium is a bit tricky. To validate this, you could check if input handling in Chromium 58 fails in the same way VS Code fails: The ultimate proof would be that the issue reproduces in the Monaco Editor using Chromium 58, but does not reproduce using Chromium 62. I therefore believe that once we update to an Electron version that uses Chromium v62, the issue will be resolved. Since text is highlighted as expected in Chrome v62 in the Monaco Editor, the only difference remains in Chromium versions. Reproduces without extensions: Monaco Editor uses 100% the same source code as the VS Code editor UI part, especially around input handling. Instead of selecting text the document will pan in VSCode. Attempt to use the Digital Pen to select text in the document. A computer with a Digital Pen (Surface 3 Intel Atom). The new upgrade has also broken the ability to use the Touch Keyboard in full keyboard mode to use shift+arrow keys to select text. The Digital Pen functions as expected in Notepad and other applications tested. I use the Digital Pen to select text and make notes in OneNote. I don't always have a keyboard handy and use VSCode to review code. Attempting to highlight text the Pen will not select text but instead pan the document like panning a web page or using Touch. VSCode interprets the Digital Pen as touch.
Using Touch you could pan the open document like touch in a web browser.
It was possible to use it to select text in the editor. The Digital Pen in VSCode has functioned like a mouse. My computer is the Microsoft Surface 3 (Intel Atom)īefore the Windows upgrade. I just installed Windows Fall Creator Update and my Windows version is Windows build 16299.19.
